“It was supposed to be my first opportunity to vote, but I couldn’t because the GRC I was living in was won by the PAP through a walk over.”

Why did you join WP?

I joined WP because of the 2001 elections. It was supposed to be my first opportunity to vote, but I couldn’t because the GRC I was living in was won by the PAP through a walk over. Furthermore, the WP team in Aljunied GRC had been disqualified that year. That was when I became politically conscious. I felt that there was a real need for a strong opposition that could give Singaporeans a genuine choice.

How do you think you can contribute to that?

I hope to encourage more like-minded Singaporeans to step forward. Singaporeans who want to see change should contribute in any way they can to bringing that change.
